I firmly believe that every slogan created needs to be run by a room full of teenagers to see if it passes the giggle test.

There are times when I've just gotta agree with public washroom graffiti.

The theme for PAWcon this year was pirates. ... So anyways, it turns out that you can just, like, buy a little dinghy from facebook marketplace, slap some paint on it, and put it on the party floor at the con. I now understand what people mean when they say that the intrusive thoughts won, ahah

So, hear me out. Cats really like knocking things off of the edge of tables just to see them fall. It's a well-documented behavior. Is it possible that Scar never intended to actually murder Mufasa, and that it was just that same instinct? KIND OF MAKES YOU THINK, DOESN'T IT?

Sometimes you find something incredible in the wild.

I'm working on getting my resume spiffed up, since it's been horribly out of date and it needs an update -- I suck at it, and am looking for recommendations for a resume professional anyone may have used to spiff up their brag sheet and linkedin profiles. Anyone have a contact to share?

To whomever created the penis disk: I salute you.

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

Muffins are nothing more than a way to make eating cake for breakfast socially acceptable.

VCF SoCal is a wrap! Had a great time showcasing edutainment titles from the 90s for people to sit down and play!

This weekend I'll be at VCF SoCal! I'm exhibiting edutainment titles form the 1990s. Come activate some neurons playing Gizmos and Gadgets or Treasure Mountain!

I just saw an ad for all dressed chips in the states, touted as a new thing. Are we finally getting elements of civilization down here?

This one caught me off guard today.

Man, I just got jerked back in time this evening. I chanced upon a website for free point of sale software that I used in 2001-2002. It's still there, seems to be in active development, and I swear, beyond new photos and testimonials, the website has not changed in over 20 years. keyhut.com/pos.htm

Tonight felt like "time" so I got out the equigroomer and spent a while stripping out shedfur. Not bad for a first pass. Silas for scale.

Spent New Years Eve and New Years Day on the road. Made it home 8pm on New Years Day and went to bed. Long trip, Work this morning, but it's good to be home.

I hope everyone's holiday is warm and bright.

Quiet vibes tonight. I hope everyone is having a gentle evening :)

Had a very productive morning today.

I really miss the days when Steam sales were an event with incredible deals and mini games and themes and such. These last few years have been really milquetoast. I don't even think the winter sale this year has trading cards.

I never really thought too hard about the portrayal of "nerds" in movies from 15+ years ago. Looking back I remember being offended by it but accepted it as the way things were. Even wealthy and successful "nerds" were frequently portrayed as unable to function in society.

I really really love all of the hyperspecialized content that we have near instantaneous access to. Stuff like this is weird and wonderful and hilarious and reminds me that despite all of the challenges it's an amazing time to be alive.

As I come to accept that I am firmly in the realm of "middle age" I'm realizing that my new party drugs are now Aleve, Zantac, and Vitamin B.

There is a special place in hell reserved for people who leave Hotel room alarm clocks set.

Bought a new bag for this trip. Decided to give in and try a spinner for the first time. So far not a fan. Likely going to swap it out for a traditional roller after this trip.

Will be arriving in Chicago tomorrow afternoon! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

I really feel sorry for all of the kids whose uncles actually did work at Nintendo.

Every now and then I get a hard reminder that the present we live in is full of incredible technology, enabling us to almost effortlessly get up to shitfuckery on the internet that even at the dawn of the MySpace era would have seemed like whiz-bang science fiction. 🧵(1/4)

Looks great! Appreciating the Pumpkin Spice American Beauty aesthetic!

My new shirt, featuring my sweet girl Penny.

Loitering on a bench outside of a Holiday Inn as my Friday a night entertainment.

This year's rescue kittens are growing up. It's been a hard slog getting them healthy, but it's absolutely worth it.

Wire nuts are strange things. They always feel super temporary to me and I'm amazed that in North America not only do we use them in permanent wiring, they're the default code option. Blows my mind really. I've taken to using wagolocks for everything and will never look back.

Last night, one of my cats, a beautiful little 10 month old girl passed on. I found her when I came into work, lying peacefully on my office floor. I thought she was sleeping until I touched her. As far as we can tell, her passing was quick, without warning, and with no pain. I'll miss her so.

Cut a hole in the floor to find the culprit. Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

Overall, I'm glad it happened now. I'm in the process of updating my flooring and paint, and if I have to tear holes in the wall I'd rather it be just before a remodel than after.

Plumbing ordeal! Hearing water blasting against your floorboards is never great. Turned off water tonthe house until its fixed. Since this is my second catastrophic plumbing failure I'm just going to repipe the house rather than deal with more crap in the future.

Up in British Columbia for the holidays and went for a walk to the beach. Very calm and steely today.

Getting a late lunch in reno today. Decided to experience something new. Hope I don't get railed.

Aaand they're back. Poor boys. Still super groggy and confused.

Tooday was the day! Took the boys in to be neutered. Going to feel horribly guilty when they come back all woozy and sore. Gotta figure out how to spoil them properly (not that they aren't already spoiled)

Flying back from MFF tonight - it was good to spend time with old friends and make new ones. Looking forward to more good times to come.
